Week 9 - lecture excercise

This object is a card advertising a play at the university, Alice - Based on the stories of Lewis Carroll. I had very little loyalty to it anyway - I only took it out of politeness and remembering that last summer I had a similar job of confronting people in public and trying to gain their interest. Anyway, the card. ALICE in big capital letters, I've seen it all around campus. I first think of the Tom Waits album of the same name. Is Tom in the play? What would he make of it? Not much I reckon. There's an advertisement in the bottom-right corner, purple, for a lettings agent. I have zero interest in this. I have zero interest in the play. I forgot that it was in my bag anyway until performing this task. This has reminded me to chuck it in a bin, as I planned to the moment I was handed it but didn't want to do so in front of them. Usually I walk around the corner and dispose of it, but not this time, for whatever reason. Maybe I did want to go see it. Or perhaps not. On the reverse side is more detail about the play, ending with the words 'Follow the White Rabbit', which reminds me of Jefferson Airplane, and in particular, a German friend of mine who likes them. I know that my friend wouldn't have even taken the card in the first place. Maybe it's an English thing, or maybe it's just me. When I consider what the object might feel about me disposing it, I suddenly feel a touch sad. But there's hundreds of identical cards. There's nothing unique or destinctive about it.
